Wearable crochet: Clothes

Ah, those bygone eras, when crochet was well, erm... itchy... and judging by a screen shot of my search results for 70s knitwear, mostly orange.

(Digging those dudes in their ponchos, btw)

So far in my rather brief crochet career, my foray into clothing has been zero; I've dabbled with hats and scarf-y accessories, but just haven't been convinced that crocheted clothes would ever be my thing.

And then came Pinterest and Instagram and all manner of crochet magazines, where independent designers were strutting their very cool stuff, and the most modern and wearable of crochet clothes were being showcased.

And I've changed my mind.

So here's my most favourite, totally wearable crochet pieces and there's not an itchy, orange jumpsuit in sight...

Classic and simple, these jumpers are modern and fun. Bright colours, or plain neutrals. Whatever takes your fancy works here.

Oh what a fun post! I was in my late teens when those hot pants were the height of fashion and I had a pair of bright yellow hot pants :) I love the big yellow sweater that would hide a lot lol... Though I thing I would look like one of the telly tubbies. I'm in the process of trying to crochet a wearable but it's been frogged several times in order to try a different pattern, lol. I look forward to seeing what you make xx
